78% Informative

A growing number of cats have gotten sick or died after consuming raw pet food or raw milk contaminated with the H5N1 virus.

The FDA has advised pet food companies to take extra precautions to protect against bird flu.

The agency also suggested cooking raw pet foods to eliminate risk.

Cooking is the only way to completely protect pets from bird flu-contaminated foods.

The only sure way to kill the pathogens is through heat, experts agree.

The HPP process can eliminate H5N1, but it would depend on the exact pressure and time parameters.
